Jet2 launches drive to fill 3,000 jobs
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced a big recruitment drive offering over 3,000 jobs across the UK and Europe for a variety of positions to support the company’s growth.
More than 2,000 jobs are located across the company’s nine UK bases – in flight deck, cabin crew and ground operations roles – and a nationwide roadshow will support a huge recruitment drive to fill the roles, giving jobseekers the opportunity to meet with staff to find out more.
The announcement comes as the airline continues its growth strategy, on the back of summer 2018, which saw its biggest programme so far of flights and holidays.
Next summer, the company will increase capacity by another 12%, with over 12 million seats on sale.
To support this growth Jet2 is looking to fill 100 flight deck, 1,000 cabin crew and 1,000 ground operations positions in the UK alone.
On top of these UK roles, there are more than 1,000 positions available across Europe.
Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said: "This is our biggest ever recruitment drive, and once again demonstrates our commitment to investing in our customers and in people’s careers."
Recruitment roadshows begin on Wednesday September 5 in Birmingham. See here for more details.
